The Model Q46/85 is an on-line monitoring system designed for the continuous measurement of
Peracetic Acid (PAA) concentration in solution. The full scale operating range of the system may
be selected by the user for 0-20.00 ppm, 0-200.0 ppm, or 0-2000 ppm, and the sensing system
will operate on water streams with temperatures ranging from 0 to 50°C. The Q46/85 PAA
Measurement System is engineered for applications in which PAA is applied to water for
sterilization purposes
The basic sensing element used in the PAA monitor is a polarographic membrane sensor which
measures PAA directly. Water simply flows past the sensor and directly to drain, with the flow
rate and pressure across the sensor controlled by a constant head flow cell assembly. The PAA
measurement does not alter the sample or add any chemicals to the sample stream, so the water
flow can return to the system if desired.
Q46/85 Monitors are available in two basic electronic versions, a 90-260 VAC powered monitor,
or a 12-24 VDC powered monitor – both with three relays and two 4-20 mA analog outputs. Both
versions allow flexible output options which include additional 4-20 mA current outputs, additional
0-30 VDC signal relays, PID control, and digital communication cards.

1.2 Standard System
The standard model Q46/85 system includes three main components, the Q46 analyzer, a
constant head flow cell, and a PAA sensor. A low-volume flowcell is also available for
applications where sample flowrate and pressure can be carefully controlled. Figure 1 shows a
typical installation including the optional pH sensor.
For connection of the sensor to the electronics, a 25' cable is supplied. An additional 100 feet of
interconnect cable may be added using #07-0100 junction box. All required spare parts are also
provided with the basic system, including spare membranes, electrolyte, o-rings, and any special
hardware.

Figure 3 below shows an installation using a (00-1522) sealed flowcell for the PAA sensor and a (00-
1527) sealed flowcell for the pH sensor. This type of installation requires careful flow control. We
recommend the use of our (03-0371) flow control assembly when using sealed flowcells. This assembly
consists of an in-line filter and a fixed-flow regulator which will maintain a constant 400 cc/min flowrate
through the system. This flow will be maintained so long as inlet pressures are between 5 and 125 PSIG.
The in-line filter is used mainly to protect the flow control element against larger particles that might cause
plugging of the device.

ATI Q46H/85 PAA System Part 2 – Analyzer Mounting
Part 2 – Analyzer Mounting
2.1 General
All Q46 Series instruments offer maximum mounting flexibility. A bracket is included with each
unit that allows mounting to walls or pipes. In all cases, choose a location that is readily
accessible for calibrations. Also consider that it may be necessary to utilize a location where
solutions can be used during the calibration process. To take full advantage of the high contrast
display, mount the instrument in a location where the display can be viewed from various angles
and long distances.
Locate the instrument in close proximity to the point of sensor installation - this will allow easy
access during calibration. The sensor-to-instrument distance should not exceed 100 feet. To
maximize signal-to-noise ratio however, work with the shortest sensor cable possible. The
standard cable length of the PAA sensor is 25 feet.
Due to the flexibility of the instrument design, some of the mounting features change based on
the configuration that was ordered. For example, the 2-wire transmitter version is different for the
115/230 VAC controller because the rear of the enclosure is much deeper when the AC powered
unit is used. In addition, the AC powered unit has an integrated panel mount flange requiring a
single cutout for flush mounting.

2.2 Wall or Pipe Mount
A PVC mounting bracket with attachment screws is supplied with each transmitter as shown in
Figure 5. The multi-purpose bracket is attached to the rear of the enclosure using the four flat
head screws. The instrument is then attached to the wall using the four outer mounting holes in
the bracket. These holes are slotted to accommodate two sizes of u-bolt that may be used to
pipe mount the unit. Slots will accommodate u-bolts designed for 1½ “ or 2” pipe. The actual
center to center dimensions for the u-bolts are shown in the drawing. Note that these slots are for
u-bolts with ¼-20 threads. The 1½” pipe u-bolt (2” I.D. clearance) is available from ATI in type
304 stainless steel under partnumber (47-0005).

2.3 Panel Mounting
Panel mounting uses the panel mounting flange molded into the rear section of the enclosure.
Figure 8 provides dimensions for the panel cutout required for mounting.
The panel mounting bracket kit must be ordered separately (part number 05-0094). This kit
contains a metal retainer bracket that attaches to the rear of the enclosure, 4 screws for
attachment of this bracket, and a sealing gasket to insure that the panel mounted monitor
provides a water tight seal when mounted to a panel.
The sealing gasket must first be attached to the enclosure. The gasket contains an adhesive on
one side so that it remains in place on the enclosure. Remove the protective paper from the
adhesive side of the gasket and slide the gasket over the back of the enclosure so that the
adhesive side lines up with the back of the enclosure flange. Once in place, you can proceed to
mount the monitor in the panel.

Part 3 – Sensor/Flowcell Mounting
3.1 General
Select a location within the maximum sensor cable length for mounting of the sensor flow cell.
3.2 Constant-Head Flowcell
PAA sensors are best used in a constant-head overflow chamber because variations in sample
flow rate and pressure can cause unstable readings. When monitoring low concentrations (below
0.5 PPM), this method should always be used. Mechanical installation of the flow cell requires
that it be mounted to a wall or other convenient flat surface. Alternatively, the mounting holes on
the plate will accommodate a 2" U-bolt for mounting the plate to a 2" pipe. Figure 9 shows the
dimensions and mounting hole locations for the flow cell. Be sure to allow enough clearance on
the left side of the flow cell for insertion and removal of the sensor. About 12 inches clearance is
recommended.
Once mounted, inlet and drain connections must be made. The flow cell contains a 1/8" MNPT
inlet connection and a 3/8" MNPT drain connection. Hose barbs for the inlet and drain
connections are supplied with the flow cell for use with flexible tubing. The inlet hose barb is
used with ¼" I.D. tubing and the drain hose barb is used with ½" I.D. tubing.

ATI Q46H/85 PAA System Part 3 – Sensor/Flowcell Mounting
3.3 Sealed Flowcell
Applications where the sample inlet flow is well controlled can use a simpler sealed flowcell.
Using this flowcell requires that flow be controlled externally to about 400 cc/min. Variable flow
rate or variable pressure will cause unstable readings in this flowcell. ATI offers a special flow
control element that can be used ahead of this flowcell on the incoming sample line. The flow
control is part no. (55-0048). It will control the inlet flowrate at 400 cc/min. with inlet pressure
variations from 5-150 PSIG. A 50 micron y-strainer ahead of the flow control element is
recommended. The sealed flowcell provides a drain vent with check valve to avoid pulling a
vacuum on the flow chamber.

3.4 Submersion Mounting
Some applications are much easier done using the submersible sensor. This method can
sometimes be used where flow is reasonably constant, and hydraulic head does not vary
appreciably. PAA sensors can never be used in completely stagnant conditions. A flow velocity
of at least 0.3 feet per second is normally required for measurement. Any applications for a
submersible PAA sensor should first be discussed with ATI. A trial of such installations may be
necessary.
Submersible sensors are mounted to a 1" pipe using a standard 1" PVC thread by thread pipe
coupling. The mounting pipe can be secured to standard 1½" pipe rail using a mounting bracket
kit available from ATI (part number 00-0628) as shown in Figure 12 - Submersible Sensor Mounting

Part 4 – Electrical Installation
4.1 General
The Q46 is powered in one of two ways, depending on the version purchased. The 12-24 VDC
powered analyzer requires a customer supplied DC power supply. The 90-260 VAC version
requires line power. Please verify the type of unit before connecting any power.
WARNING: Do not connect AC line power to a DC powered unit. Severe damage will
result.
Important Notes:
1. Use wiring practices that conform to all national, state and local electrical codes.
For proper safety as well as stable measuring performance, it is important that the
earth ground connection be made to a solid ground point from TB7. The AC power
supply contains a single 630mA slo-blo fuse (Wickmann/Littlefuse #372-0630). The
fuse F1 is located adjacent to TB7 and is easily replaceable.
2. Do NOT run sensor cables or instrument 4-20 mA output wiring in the same
conduit that contains AC power wiring. AC power wiring should be run in a
dedicated conduit to prevent electrical noise from coupling with the instrumentation
signals.
3. This analyzer must be installed by specifically trained personnel in accordance with
relevant local codes and instructions contained in this operating manual. Observe
the analyzer's technical specifications and input ratings. Proper electrical
disconnection means must be provided prior to the electrical power connected to
this instrument, such as a circuit breaker - rated 250 VAC, 2 A minimum. If one
line of the line power mains is not neutral, use a double-pole mains switch to
disconnect the analyzer.
4. Repeated problems with lightning strikes damaging sensitive instrumentation are
often attributed to poorly bonded earth grounds in the instrument power source. The
protection schemes incorporated into this analyzer cannot operate to maximum
efficiency unless the ground connection is at its’ absolute lowest impedance.
There is no standard ground resistance universally recognized. Many agencies
recommend a ground resistance value of 5 ohms or less. The NEC recommends an
impedance to ground of less than 25 ohms, and less than 5 ohms where sensitive
equipment is installed. Power sources feeding sensitive instruments like the
Q46H/79PR should have the lowest possible impedance to ground.
4.2 Power Connection
Verify the AC power supply requirement before installing. Also verify that power is fully
disconnected before attempting to wire.
Q46 systems are supplied with 5 cable gland fittings for sealing cable entries.
Connect HOT, NEUTRAL, and GROUND to the matching designations on terminal strip TB7.

limitation in this configuration is 500 Ohms maximum for each output. Also note that these two
outputs are completely isolated from each other to insure that ground loops do not result from the
connection of both outputs to the same device such as a PLC or DCS.
A ribbon cable connects the power supply assembly with the microprocessor assembly located in
the front section of the enclosure. This cable may be unplugged from the front section of the
monitor if service is needed, but should normally be left in place during installation.

Three SPDT relays are provided on the power supply board. None of the relay contacts are
powered. The user must supply the proper power to the contacts. For applications that require
the same switched operating voltage as the Q46 (115 or 230 V), power may be jumpered from
the power input terminals at TB7. Relay wiring is connected at TB4, TB5, and TB6 as shown
below. Note that the relay contact markings are shown in the NORMAL mode. Programming a
relay for “Failsafe” operation reverses the NO and NC positions in this diagram
